Research Assistant/Associate: Data Science in Online Education x 2

Fixed-term: The funds for this post are available until 30 September 2018.The University of Cambridge is looking to appoint one or two researchers to work in the emerging field of data science and online education. We have built our own innovative learning platform (IsaacPhysics.org) which provides a free educational learning environment for nearly 40,000 school pupils, and prepares them for entrance to competitive university courses in computer science, engineering, physics and related subjects. The Isaac Physics platform includes: delivery of material through written text, video and interactive games/simulations, diagnostic feedback for students through interactive questions and problem solving, assessment to elicit student progress, models of student progress to recommend further teaching materials or exercises, feedback to improve content quality through usage analyses. We release all our software for this project…
